The danger of the Blue Shadow Ant was well known in the Magus World. However, this kind of magical beast was not completely invincible. On the contrary, it still had a huge weakness. If one could exploit this weakness, it would undoubtedly be much easier to deal with the Blue Shadow Ant.
Although the method to deal with the Blue Shadow Ant was harsh, it just so happened that Firo had some methods to deal with it. This was where Connor had the confidence to carry out his current plan.
Connor and Firo teamed up to explore the ruins. This was the main objective of the operation, and there was a major prerequisite for this objective, which was to prevent Milik, Dezerby, and the other Magi from the Church of the Storm from noticing or suspecting anything!
The Church of the Storm was too powerful. If they were to participate in this operation, Connor and Firo would be able to find the ruins in Navas Forest that were related to Reyes based on the clues in their hands. Then, even if Connor and Firo teamed up, they would not be able to get anything out of it, let alone eat the meat.
When that happened, based on the Church of the Storm's style of being merciful and forgiving on the surface, they might even kill Connor and Firo because of confidentiality and other reasons.
Hence, Connor and Firo had already reached an agreement before they took action. They would shake off the surveillance of the people sent by the Church of the Storm in Navas Forest. Then, the two of them would work together to explore the ruins that might exist in the depths of Navas Forest. This was another reason why Connor had provided Dezerby with items in the bookstore.
Through. Making use of the conflict between Milik and Dezerby, Connor had successfully shaken off Milik, leaving only Dezerby to monitor him. What other method was there to shake off Dezerby's surveillance? Was there any other method that would make it more suspicious than for Dezerby to abandon Connor when he was in danger?
Hence, Connor wanted to make use of Dezerby's self-righteous shrewdness and use the Blue Shadow Ants to naturally shake him off. As for using the Blue Shadow Ants to do this, although it seemed a little dangerous, in reality, with Firo's help, it was not too dangerous.
In short, other than being disgusted by Dezerby's magical beast powder, Connor and Firo's plan this time could be considered a daunting experience without any mishaps. Both of them had shaken off the Church of the Storm's surveillance and were temporarily free.
After teasing Connor, Firo, who was in a good mood, knew that time was pressing, so he did not say anything else. He took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then said to Connor helplessly, "According to the previous pattern, there are at most two hours before Milik, that damn bastard, will catch up with us!"
Hearing Firo's words, Connor frowned secretly, then asked Firo suspiciously, "Did he do something to you?"
In response to Connor's question, Firo's expression was undoubtedly more bitter. He nodded and replied to Connor, "It's possible, but until now, I haven't found anything wrong with my body …"
Firo's answer undoubtedly made Connor a little worried. He looked at Firo and wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything. Although he and Firo were now on the same side and were working together to search for the ruins in the depths of the forest, this was only a temporary expedient, not because of the threat of the Church of the Storm. Connor did not forget at all that Marguerite had asked him to do!
Of course, Connor did not completely trust Firo. Obviously, on Firo's side, Connor also lacked trust in his companion, Connor, and the alliance that he and Firo were forced to form under the circumstances. Therefore, even though Connor was an alchemist and was more likely to discover that Milik might have done something to him, in such a situation where both sides lacked trust in each other, even if Connor made a request, Firo, who did not trust Connor, would most likely choose to reject it.
In this way, the fact of the lack of trust between the two would undoubtedly be brought to light, deepening the conflict between them, and seriously affecting their future cooperation. Therefore, knowing that the answer would be rejection, Connor naturally would not open his mouth. On the other hand, Firo was obviously not a fool. He naturally understood what Connor wanted to say behind his back, but he also pretended not to see it. The meaning behind this was self-evident.
After resting by the stream for a short period of time, Connor and Firo, who knew that time was running out, set off for the next location. During the journey, Firo, who had fought with Milik many times, also told Connor about Milik's strength as they walked. In the last meeting, because of the threat from the family of black-blooded fox bears, Firo only had time to tell Connor about his goal and the miraculous experience of Milik completing the limb rebirth within three days. He did not waste time to introduce Milik's strength to Connor.
Connor, who had already fought with Milik briefly, was also very interested in Firo's introduction of Milik's strength. If there were no surprises, in the next few days, he and Firo would be engaged in a life-and-death battle with Milik.
In Firo's introduction, Milik's fighting style could be said to be fierce and cunning. He was not like ordinary wizards who were afraid of getting injured. He even longed to use extreme methods like exchanging blows to hurt his opponent.
As a dark wizard, Firo had thought of killing Milik through a bloody battle after discovering Milik's relentless pursuit. He could also try to make Milik understand how high the risk of continuing to pursue him was so that he would retreat. Unfortunately, Milik treated Firo like an enemy who had dug up his ancestral grave. He could not wait to drag Firo down with him.
In the wizarding world, Firo had seen ruthless people, but when he encountered someone like Milik, who did not even consider his own interests and only thought about how to kill him, Firo felt very helpless. He could only fight and retreat, and was forced by Milik to seek help from Connor.
According to Firo's description, compared to the traditional magic attacks that the wizards of the Church of the Storm were good at, Milik was more like a knight who used magic as a cover and then broke into close range to engage in close combat. When the pursuit first took place in the Navas Forest, Firo was at a disadvantage because he was not used to Milik's fighting style.
